During
the morning of January 24, 2012 Battalion Chief Don Johnson and Engine
Company 1, which doubles as the crew of the Camden Fire Department's
fireboat GEORGE M. JACKSON went to the marina at Wiggins Park to perform
maintenance and to effect transport of the small rubber rescue boat back
to Liberty Station. This small boat had been placed aboard the fireboat
as a precautionary measure on New Years Eve. Accompanying Chief Johnson
and Engine 1 were Camden Fire Department retiree Bill Colucci and
myself. Another retiree, Rich Tate, stopped by the marina while we were
there.
